Am I doing something wrong? Is dheneb stone crap? I have also used tallarn flesh and it seems pretty solid (tough I haven't been trying too hard because faces are hard to paint).


Some more info: All these minis are basecoated using GW black spray. The dheneb is coming off and showing the black under it. So it's NOT a primer issue.


Edit: a picture

Your problem might not be an issue with a particular color or pot of paint, but particular areas on the mini. Looking at the picture, it seems like you lost some blue and gold to the same sort of flaking, as well. If you truly did just rinse them and gently wipe, the adhesion would have to have been pretty terrible to get that sort of sharp-edged chipping.

I can't guarantee that this is your issue, but I'd recommend attaching your minis to handles of some sort and avoiding touching the models, themselves, during painting (at least, as much as practically possible).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3332878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3332878.page GMT Foundation paints question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3332880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3332880.page GMT Foundation paints question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3332970.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3332970.page GMT Foundation paints question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3333058.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3333058.page GMT Foundation paints question

Just the foundation paint.

@oadie
I am very carefull with my mini during painting: in fact I was wipping it to make sure there was no oils or dust particles to ruin adhesion of the next layer of paint.

I still find it very odd that the mini's pants are painted codex gray and hard scratching won't make it come off.

Yesterday morning I've tried an ultrasound bath and rubbing the surface with a napkin.
At night I painted it with some very thinned dheneb stone and today it still comes right off. Could it be I'm diluting it too much?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3334654.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3334654.page GMT Foundation paints question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3334677.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3334677.page GMT Foundation paints question
What additives do you use? Flo-Aid, Slo-Dri, and the like can make the paint take longer to cure.

Did you shake the paint thoroughly? Foundation paints settle alot, meaning you'd get more medium and less pigment, so a longer dry time.

How many coats did you apply? 1 thick coat? Several thinned coats? If several thinned, did you allow time to dry thoroughly between coats?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3335056.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397625/3335056.page GMT
